I was so excited to get an invitation to have FHE with the Davis' and go bowling! What a treat. We enjoyed a fabulous pizza made by Andrea and enjoyed the lovely ambiance of the Mechanical Engineering common room. Jethro *LOVED* bowling and it's nice to be a parent and just really enjoy watching your kids enjoyment (that is, so you don't have to think about and be so appalled at your own abysmal score). Thank you Davis'!

And an example that shows that children really DO listen to you. Yesterday morning we were at the store and Jethro saw those gigantic Easter baskets filled with toys, so he was begging me for one, and I of course said no and was kindof brisk with him because I think those Easter baskets are beyond ridiculous, so I was saying things like "You don't always get what you want." etc.So, when we started getting ready to go to FHE, I told Jethro to get on a nice shirt and we had to do his hair. This is sad for him on two counts because he has to wear a Batman or Spiderman shirt everday (neither of which I bought for him, they were both given), and when he complained about having to do his hair, and whined "WHY?" I said because I wanted him to. He then said But you told me you don't always get what you want." Hmmm.
